Working With and For Government Entities

The Indianapolis office of Lewis & Kappes provides legal and non-legal governmental law services that cover the broad spectrum of interactions that may occur with a governmental unit.

Governmental Law Services

• We represent municipal, city and state agencies and governmental entities in litigation and in negotiations, as well as providing legal guidance and serving in a general counsel capacity. (See our municipal law practice.)
• We represent clients — municipalities and businesses — in public utility and water and sewer disputes, as well as restructuring or annexation disputes.
• We represent governmental entities with bond work and municipal financing.
• We represent businesses in judicial proceedings before the EPA for environmental issues and regulatory actions before other government bodies.
• We represent builders and municipalities in real estate, land use and zoning matters.

Lobbying and Contractual Services

This independent entity provides services in the area of governmental lobbying, government contract procurement, and interactions with elected officials and governmental offices.
